bush. welcome to you both to the newshour. mary price, let me start with you. you think these changes are good ideas. why? : absolutely. our criminal justice system has become addicted to solving our social and public safety problems with incarceration. today eric holder said the department recognizes that and says that we have to step away from using those kinds of policies. we can't incarcerate our way to public safety nor given the inequities, as we pointed out, should we do that. so i think it's significant that what he's saying with more flexibility in sentencing we can be safer and i think that's very important and something we need. >> woodruff: your argument is that this is less crime? >> our argument is that we're locking up too many of the wrong kind of people for too long for the wrong kinds of crimes. certainly -- i mean people who we are afraid of, people who are committing serious crimes, they ought to be incarcerated. we need to be kept safe. but as you pointed out, half of the people we're incarcerating are in federal prison for drug crimes and

george bush partially declassified it. i learned, for the first time, o my extreme dismay, in the first three-and-a-half years of this program which was developed by the bush administration, the president had used his article 2 authorities as the commander-in-chief to run the programs rather than the provisions of law, fica, which congress enacted in 1978, a fact you ought to all know, the foreign intelligence control act, was passed in 191978 in response to the abuses of the nixon administration and the recommendations of the church commission and set up a careful system of the fisa court which you understand how that works, composed of federal judges, and intelligence committees on the hill which were set up then to monitor. and it worked very well in my view through 2001. and then the bush administration yanked it and ran it a different way. congress after that pulled it back under fisa. and i think -- i believe strongly that maybe the amount of meta dathea is excessive. i'm sure my buddy here thinks this. and that ough

bush if he believes that what he was seeing on the feel was real. his response was that he wasn't sure. but he hopes so and he wanted to give those playing the benefit of the doubt. today it's clear that they no longer deserve any benefit of any doubt. those who have engaged in this dishonesty now unfairly indict a whole group of people for trying to do it right. it takes hundreds of players who are innocent and lump them together with the few who are guilty or could be guilty. but there is even a bigger question for the tens of millions of americans who follow baseball. if the game is no longer a cynic, why care about the results? the mantra in many lockers rooms across the nation, and i personally heard it, is if you're not cheating, you're not trying. the win at all cost attitude is per vasesive. it dominates the landscape. this is not just about sports. with careers on the lines, so much money to be made, so much glory to be achieved, so much fame to be had, those who initially sought to do it right end up doing it wrong. so are we witnessing am
